Hello...I'm a little late, but I decided to add my two cents in on a slight variation....

Ladies and gents, I present you with DIY lip gloss/lip stain

For lip gloss:
Take a small bowl and empty a big clump of Vaseline into it.
Put it in the microwave for a few seconds at a time. Make sure to watch it and not just leave it there for a while because it will explode and make a mess. Take it out as soon as it is completely liquid and proceed quickly.
If you want something light and shimmery, take some loose eyeshadow and sprinkle it in gently. Mix it in, smoothing any clumps. Add as much as you want. Go crazy! I've mixed a few colours in before.
When you put it on, put one layer on first, let it dry off a bit and then add some more.
Store it in an airtight box, like an empty lip balm tin.

For lip balm:
Same as above.
However, I've recently had fun adding a little bit of flavouring into my lip balm. I added some mint extract to a small pot of lip balm, which made my lips smell nice. I would imagine that the taste would be qite pleasant too...
I've made lip balm as above but with cocoa powder in it. It smells really nummy and if you add a little bit of shea butter, it really hydrates your lips, and makes them very chocolatey, which is also quite tasty.
Lastly, I've put some very fine sugar crystal sprinkles in melted Vaseline before. They make for an interesting texture on your lips and I cnstantly reapplied, having licked it all off.

Lip stain:
Two words:
Food Colouring.

I've mixed some food colouring together to ake a lovely dark plum shade, which I then poured into a mix of melted Vaseline and some lip gloss. When i applied it, it made a very bright colour whcih stayed for a long time. Make sure you get the right colour and that you dn't get any on your teeth or you'll end up looking like you've been eating artificial candy all day...*hopes everyone understands how humiliating it is to have a blue tongue, lips and teeth for a whole day*

Enjoy!
